Summary/Abstract: The poetry of Bisera Alikadic, one of the most important in the literature of Bosnia Herzegovina and Bosniaks and even further, I have approached in the introductory part as marginal phenomenon showing that in the context of the literary unities, important poetical changes occur with it. The introduction of this poet and novelist in literature, I have destructured as marginal figure in the sense in which Homi K.Bhabha definies the border-line as the place where something starts its presence, in other words, as expressed borderline of dissonant and dissident histories and voices. I have recognized establishing of female attitude and giving speech to something that culture has left it speechless, to female sensuality, female craving and womanly sexuality in poetry intended to adults. From the said above there is conclusion that the imagining of woman’s subject in this poetry is not in accordance with valid (re)production of gender relations and roles, so that the process of its redefination is actualized, as well as redefination of the concept of female and feminine that enabled me to put this opus in the context of biological pattern of woman’s letter, in accordance with Elaine Showalter’s division.
